SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 546,636, dated September 1'7, 1895.

Application filed February '7, 1895. Serial No. 537,597. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALBERT RUSSELL BRANDLY, a citizen of the United States,'residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Shades for the Eyes, of which the following 1 is a specification.

The invention relates to a shade for the eyes. The object is to provide a device in the nature of a protecting eye-shade capable of being folded to occupy a comparatively small space and adapted to be inclosed, if desired, in a case resembling more or less that used for spectacles.

With these objects in view the invention consists in the improved construction and combination of parts, to be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

Figure 1 is a view in perspective of one embodiment of the invention. Figs. 2 and 3 are detail views in perspective of a modified construction of folding joint. Fig. 4=is a view in perspective of a further modification.

In the drawings, A represents a shade, which comprises a frame a, formed in two parts or sections a and a The section a is secured at its end to one side of the spring nose-clamp a and the opposite section at its inner end is bent up in an angle to serve as a stop, it being mounted to slide in guides a which are arranged upon the upper portion of the nose-clamp. Secured to this frame and extending outward therefrom is an accordionplaited awning or canopy a, formed in two sections a arranged to slide or fold one over the other, and at the ends of the awning-sections spring-fingers a are secured to project rearward, so as to press against the face or lower temples and thereby steady the frame.

Referring to Figs. 2 and 3 of the drawings, a modified form of joint for the frame is illustrated, and consists in forming the nose clamp andframe of the shade in sections,

which are secured centrally by alink. A slidally, will readily fold with the frame, and constructed as last described the shade may be used by a person wearing glasses without in any way interfering or causing inconvenience, as will be apparent, a rest being substituted in this instance for the nose-clamp.

Having thus fully described the invention, what I claim as new is- 1. The eye-shade comprising the sectional frame, with its sections adapted to slide toward and from each other, and the sectional canopy with its sections connected to said frame-sections respectively and adapted to slide one upon the other and means for connecting the shade to the nose, substantially as set forth.

2. The eye-shade comprising the nose-clamp, the sectional frame, with one section connected to said nose-clamp and the other adapted to slide in guides upon said noseclamp, and the sectional canopy with its sections connected to said frame-sections respectively and adapted to slide one upon the other, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

ALBERT RUSSELL BRANDLY.
